is someone i thought a true friend... really a true friend o
Question Posted Monday March 19 2007, 3:58 pm
im going to try and keep this short because theres only 2000 max. well ive been friends with this girl for over a year now and have had many problems. shes a senior & im a sophomore in highschool. i met her through my brother who is also a senior.. last summer she screwed me over and made me believe she was alaways here for me and i could trust her and then talked behind my back and ignored me and hung out w other people but me. and then made me feel worthless, yes having me as her pet on the side only when she had no one else. then we became close again after 4 months of not talking.. and we became really close and really good. we tell each other how we feel and what bothers us; and wen we fight hardcore we always get passed it.. but shes always ditching me and with other ppl and i guess i get jealous but she says she does too. she doesnt even make an effort to ask me to hang out with her.. i honestly dont know what to do.. can people really change? is she lying wen she says she cares if shes lied in the past about things? do i continue being close with her? the honest truth is i cant see us not being friends... i dont know what it is but she always makes me happy-with little things she says or does.. i dont know what to do.. because then theres other times where she screws me over, makes me feel horrible and bad and i get upset alot about stuff she says or does.. i just feel like sometimes she doesnt care about us being friends beause of the things shes says and they way she acts sometimes. but wen were good and close im nothing but happy and am always smiling.. but theres still jealousy. and i dont know why because she has nothing i want? if anything, she told me she wants what i have... but i dont know what to do. i cant stand being hurt and fooled by her anymore... but shes the onlyone who always makes me truly happy. i could type on forever about our friendship but ill stop here for now... any ideas?

in long...
take a long look at how she behaves socially, does she give everybody lip service?
Look at how she treats and talks about other people in front of you, and then then she faces them.
draw up the patterns and decide yourself.
but she or the relationship is unstable,
if you want to be grown-up about it, confront her with what you see and see if things change... and you don't have to squint your eyes to see the so-called change.
watch out for lip-service, lots of people are very good at talking "nice".

She obviously has not realized what a great friend you are. Drop her, before she can do any damage to your life. Be the sweet person that you are. and you'll find plenty of people willing to be a good friend. Not one that ditches you,or gossips about you. There are a lot of people out there worthy of being your friend. And if you want to talk to her about it go ahead,if she is sorry,then ok but don't hang around her too much, I'm sure you have other friends,you do,make new friends, and if she does give you a negative response then, you know to leave it. Hope this helps. [ phatdopelove's advice column | Ask phatdopelove A Question ]
